NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
14 CFR Part 1210
[Notice (08-045)]
RIN 2700-AC81
Development Work for Industry in NASA Wind Tunnels
AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is
amending its regulations by removing part 1210. This amendment will
allow Agency, Center, and wind tunnel facility operations manuals to
provide guidance on project priority, facility utilization charges, and
test preparation and conduct.
DATES: Effective July 14, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Technical information: Michael George,
650-604-5881.
Legal information: Rebecca Gilchrist, 202-358-2072.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The amendment of 14 CFR part 1210 will
eliminate existing errors in reference to Agency policy, offices, and
positions. The amendment will also eliminate redundancy and conflicts
in guidance regarding the establishment of agreements with other
government agencies, industry, academia, and foreign entities as
outlined in 14 CFR 1210.1 thru 1210.5. Authority, regulation, and
guidance for these types of agreements are provided by the following
policies: 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(1), section 203(c)(1) of the National
Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended; NASA Financial
Management Requirements Vol. 16 Reimbursable Agreements; NASA Policy
Directive 1050.1H Authority to Enter Space Act Agreements; and NAII
1050-1A Space Act Agreement Manual.
The amendment will eliminate existing errors in 14 CFR 1210.6 Test
Preparation and Conduct which provides guidance in facility operational
testing procedures. For example, the section does not address the
implementation of NASA export control policy regarding data handling
and transfer as required by the following: 50 U.S.C. Appendix, parts
2401-2420, the Export Administration Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-72), as
amended, 15 CFR parts 730-774, Export Administration Regulations, 22
CFR parts 120-130, International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
Facility-specific, day-to-day operational procedures will be, and
currently are, dictated by Agency and Center policy which can be found
in documents such as:
APR 8800.7, R&D Facilities Services Core Processes, February 6,
2006.
NASA TM-1999-208478/Rev1 Glenn 1X1 Supersonic Wind Tunnel User
Manual.
NASA TM 2004-21697 User Manual for 10X10 Supersonic Wind Tunnel.
Standards Handbook for Planning and Conducting Wind Tunnel Tests at
Glenn Research Center.
The amendment will ensure Agency, Center, and facility policy to
provide guidance where deemed appropriate and ease the process for
changing and maintaining these documents by placing that responsibility
at the appropriate management level.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 1210

and facilities, Government contracts, Intergovernmental relations,
